Exploding Kittens is a highly strategic kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette. Players take turns drawing cards until someone draws an exploding kitten and loses the game. The deck is made up of cards that let you avoid exploding by peeking at cards before you draw, forcing your opponent to draw multiple cards, or shuffling the deck. 
  
  
  
 The game gets more and more intense with each card you draw because fewer cards left in the deck means a greater chance of drawing the kitten and exploding in a fiery ball of feline hyperbole. 
  
 The game was created by Elan Lee (Xbox, ARGs), Matthew Inman (The Oatmeal), and Shane Small (Xbox, Marvel). We think this game combines all the things we're best at creating, and and put together this Kickstarter campaign because we can't build this without you. 
  
 So if you're into card games or laser beams or weaponized enchiladas, please help us make this game a reality. We think you'll love it as much as we do. 
  
 Hugs and enchilada kisses, 
  
 -Elan, Matt, and Shane. 
  
 The Origin Story 
  
 Exploding Kittens started when Shane Small proposed a game to Elan Lee where a joker was inserted into a deck of cards and they took turns picking cards until the joker came up. It was called “Bomb Squad” and it wasn’t any fun at all. 
  
 Over the next few weeks, two important things happened: First, after neglecting work, family, and a social life, Shane and Elan developed a rule-set that started working and brought the game to life. Second, Matt Inman saw the game, thought it was super fun, and asked to join the team. (btw, if Matthew Inman ever asks you if he can join your team, the answer is “HELL YES”.) 
  
 We changed the name to "Exploding Kittens" and our little team was born. 
  
 BUT YOU'RE BLOWING UP KITTENS! NOT COOL, BUDDY. 
  
 We struggled with this a lot. We love the name Exploding Kittens, but we don't want to hurt kittens. We also don't want the kittens to be hurt by anyone else. Eventually we decided to explore the concept of the kittens blowing themselves up. 
  
 First, Matt tried drawing the kittens as the actual bombs: 
  
 But that felt too Angry Birds’ish. 
  
 Next, we tried making the kittens suicidal, but that felt terrible. 
  
 In the end, we realized that everyone understands feline shenanigans, and that could be our solution. Our kitties would not blow up out of malicious intent or negligence, but by doing the things that kittens do, like running across keyboards or chewing on things they shouldn't be chewing on. 
  
 From there, the rest of the cards fell into place, and the cards used to defuse the exploding kittens were items you'd use to defuse regular kittens. 
  
 HELP US BUILD THIS GAME 
  
 We wanted to put this project on Kickstarter because it's the fastest way for us to get the game into your hands and make improvements as a community. We think this game is great, but we need your help making it even better. 
  
 So, if a world full of weaponized pork missiles is a world you want to live in, please back this project and help us build this game. 
  
  
  
 With love and pork missiles, 
  
 -The Exploding Kittens Team (Matt, Elan, and Shane)

 The original goal soon turned out to be pocket change as the project reached its goal in mere minutes; within 24 hours, the funding had reached $1 million. On Tuesday, with 22 days to go and more than 107,000 backers pledging $4.2 million, it became the most-backed Kickstarter project of all time. 
  
 Other projects have raised more money, but Exploding Kittens has the most backers.

 In a tweet, Inman congratulated his team for this incredibly successful first week on Kickstarter. 
  
 And on the project's official page, founders — who besides Inman include Elan Lee and Shane Small — thanked backers for their support, and announced some upcoming updates. 
  
 "You wonderful people have come together to form the largest community in Kickstarter history, and the numbers keep rising. Tomorrow we'll talk about some important updates, but today is just about you," says the post. 
  
 Described as a card game "for people who are into kittens and explosions and laser beams and sometimes goats," Exploding Kittens is a take on Russian roulette, with players drawing cards until someone draws an exploding kitten card, losing the game. 
  
 The basic version of the game, containing 56 cards, can be obtained by pledging $20 on Kickstarter; for $35, backers also get a NSFW copy of the deck.

When last seen, Exploding Kittens had reached its $10,000 Kickstarter goal in eight minutes and zoomed right on by, racking up a hefty $1.8 million as of last Wednesday. But the Internet, apparently a big fan of "kittens and explosions and laser beams and sometimes goats," did not stop there: The Russian Roulette-inspired brainchild of The Oatmeal creator Matthew Inman is as of yesterday Kickstarter's most-backed project ever, though Mashable notes that other projects have pulled in more money. The current eye-popping stats: Upward of 109,000 backers to the tune of more than $4.3 million. Twenty-two days remain in the campaign.
